Max the Motorcycle - new children's book

My wife has just completed a children's book. It is loosely based on the purchase and restoration of our '66 R60 /2. The book is called Max the Motorcycle. It's about how Max the Motorcycle first comes to the USA and is ridden by his first owner. After a time, he is put into a barn for storage. Later discovered and ridden again. It's Jen's first publication. She used a local artist for the illustrations. She has had a lot of fun with the project. She may even write a sequel.

It sounds like the kind of book Scott Pruett the race car driver wrote 10 or 12 years ago that we bought for our grandsons. I guess I'll buy yours now since there are always kids running around the house.
